Re: [ProgSoc] ppp and kernel ver2.2.5

[Adrian Chiang <adrian@nospam.posnet.com.au>]

You could try adding / checking for these lines in your 
/etc/conf.modules file:

alias ppp-compress-21 bsd_comp
alias ppp-compress-24 ppp_deflate
alias ppp-compress-26 ppp_deflate

I had similar trouble upgrading to 2.2 on a slackware system.
Also check your /var/adm/messages for clues from pppd.

I presume your modem is connected okay but just that your routes aren't
working - right?
